Dogma FX Corrections…

  • Vincent was kind enough to check in with some corrections on a story that we posted here a while back regarding Dogma’s FX. Apparently, we somehow crossed companies on who exactly was working on certain digital effect for the flick. By now, you probably know that 2 companies are working on different shots, Station X Studios and Threshold. Many of you were treated to 2 such shots (of Ben’s wings and NoMan) at the Stash Gala, which we mistakenly attributed to Station X. The truth is, these were actually shots that came in from Threshold studios — They were excellent, and we just wanted to make sure they got their due credit. Vincent explains:
The wing and shit monster effects shown at the Stash Bash were NOT doneby Station-X, but by Threshold, the second digital effects house workingon DOGMA. Station-X did do a shot of the NoMan rising from the floor,but not the “shit throw” seen in very early form at the Stash Bash, andthe flapping wings as Bartleby descends were also not done by Station-X(they did three long shots of Bartleby flying in the sky)- these arethe shots that Threshold handled, and they did an amazing job. They arealso now complete.

Threshold also did digital effects work on I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER – although a truly awful film, the Threshold shots areamazing in that they DON’T look like digital effects shots- one is thehook going through the confessional in Jennifer Love Hewitt’s dream-this shot was done entirely digitally because the director wanted thehook to remain in focus and that wouldn’t have been possible if done onset due to the low light and anamorphic lenses. They also did the shotof the hook going through the one guy’s throat – again, the hook andeven the very-real looking blood are entirely digital. While in LA Itoured their studios with Monica Hampton and they are doing somefantastic work there (without charging an arm and a leg) and deservetheir just credit for the shots that Kevin showed to the folks at theStash Bash.
